We gon' be alrightNigga, we gon' be alrightHuh? We gon' be alrightNigga, we gon' be alrightDo you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright[Bridge]I keep my head up highI cross my heart and hope to dieLovin' me is complicatedToo afraid, a lot of changesI'm alright and you're a favoriteDark nights in my prayers[Outro]I remembered you was conflictedMisusing your influence, sometimes I did the sameAbusing my power full of resentmentResentment that turned into a deep depressionFound myself screamin' in the hotel roomI didn't wanna self destruct, the evils of Lucy was all around meSo I went runnin' for answers
